HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Heavenly Chocolate Truffles
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cacao powder
1/2 cup medjool dates, pits removed
1/2 cup pecans
1/4 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup hemp hearts
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 an avocado
1 tsp spirulina powder (optional)
1 tsp medicinal mushroom powder (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Combine all ingredients in the food processor and process with an s-blade. The mixture will eventually form a ball. Once this happens, you can remove the mix and roll into bite-size balls to eat on the go.
Dust them in Cacao or Coconut Shreds or coat them with the White Chocolate Glaze or Chocolate. Store in the fridge and they will last weeks (that’s if you can restrain yourself!)
